Moments in video games that impacted you emotionally. - Games

When[sp]Agro falls[/sp]in Shadow of the Colossus, I cried[sp]TEARS OF JOY[/sp] Seriously though I thought when[sp]messed up Wander gets sucked into the pool, and you try desperately to get to the altar and see Mono alive[/sp]was pretty depressing, especially the music.

The whole Mass Effect setting/story. Got me really.

the ending of mother 3 when [sp]claus snaps back to reality from being the Masked Man because his mother's ghost talks to him and kills himself by reflecting lightning off of Lucas' Franklin Badge[/sp] the kid was so ballzy too :(

Emotional. The ending to Final Fantasy X really made me cry. It really is one of those endings that gets to most people.

The ending of Call of Duty 4 was sad to me, and it still is because I can't really immerse myself into the MW2 story so to me it feels like it never happened. It wasn't really bad but it didn't feel like a follow up to the MW1 story at all.

I need to replay Heavy Rain. I dont want to ruin it for anyone so ill put it in spoilers. [sp] first challenge, drive dangerously and risk your life. "ok i can do this irl, id do anything to save my son. No matter the cost i will do it." second challenge, go through that horrible maze and suffer... "oh god, this looks terrible, absolutely deadly and fucked up. Ok, i can do this, its for my son, im willing to risk it, its all i have left..." third challenge, the cutting off the finger. "fuck, you know what its miles better then going through glass, ok gonna get the best shit to avoid infection and make it as smooth as possible" i literally cringed at the thought of melting my skin to close the wound. Just terrible thoughts about the unimaginable pain. But it will be worth it. forth challenge, murder a father... "... ... no, i cant do this" "but he tried to kill you, he's scum" "but he has a young girl. Ill be mo better if i kill a father and doom his child than the creep who took my son" "but you said you would do anything to get him back" after a few minutes of thought (i paused the game at these parts to really think) "... no. i cant. his life is not mine to take, i wont someone else's life to fix my mistakes, i will just have to find another way..." fifth challenge, drink the poison... Ok here i spent literally 10 minutes thinking, it scared me. "fuck, how can i possibly do this? What if he's lying and it kills me immediately like a huge FUCKING JOKE?! I'll never see my son... what if hes not, and it will kill me shortly after saving him? Fuck what if its nothing, just water and he killed my son and this is all a sick joke to see if i kill myself. FUCK. Ok, think if it is true, and i make it just to save him, whats the point? I save my son only to have him watch his father die holding him and possibly fail to protect him if this cruel man shows up? Even if there is no man and i save him, what kind of life will he have, one with a dead brother and father? No i will not drink it. Fuck this guy, IM COMING FOR MY SON AND WE ARE GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS ALIVE. IM COMING SON!" These are truely some of the thoughts going through my mind when i first played it. I would be devastated if i lost my son in real life and totally connected to the dad. I may be young, but im very connected to my family and if anything like this happened to the ones i care about, i would follow the motion in this game to save them, and avenge them. FUCK YOU SHELBY YOU TWISTED FUCK! [/sp] [editline]2nd August 2011[/editline] a truly emotional game for me, loved every minute of the experience.

When beating Metal Gear Solid 1, I got the bad ending, the one where [sp]Meryl dies.[/sp] You know, [sp]Snake is sitting there with Otacon on that snowmobile and they're having small talk. I kinda made me reflect about the events in the game like Meryl dying, destroying Metal Gear, fucking up Liquid... These two guys went trough fucking hell and now they're sitting there and having small talk. But the way the talked, it sounded like they were broken on the inside, trying to get over what happened and try to have an optimistic outlook to the future.[/sp] Made me feel really sentimental, actually. Really like the ending.

Another I just thought about was the opening video of LBA 2. Can't link it because I'm at work but the whole scene, the music and setting still gives me chills.

In Metroid Prime 3, where you [sp]help a Federation Marine activate an elevator, but when you reach the top, he suddenly starts shooting you and it turns out it was actually Gandrayda, wearing a disguise. She then said: "You know, you should never trust strangers, Sammy".[/sp] If there's anything that I would have ABSOLUTELY NEVER expected, it would be that moment. Also music: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SySV9xBU6M[/media]

[QUOTE=jakeabbott96;31483457]Leaving the vault from Fallout 3. It wasn't that emotional, but it was an amazing moment.[/QUOTE] im not joking here, the first time i left the vault i was greeted by 2 deathclaw. At the time i had no idea. "I wonder how challenging life will be out he-" dead. Fucking random encounters, although i LOVE the series. I fucking love exploring the world and learning about some of the terrible secrets it has to offer of massacres and betrayals. Andale... [editline]2nd August 2011[/editline] actually learning about all the vaults is cool, how sick the government can be, its disheartening.

Pretty much the entire "First people" plot in Assassin's Creed makes my heart race.. I guess I might just be a conspiracy buff ^^P

Bad Company 2 when [sp]Flynn dies[/sp]. Vietcong: Fist Alpha's Ending: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6y5D8zQiOI4[/media] [sp] After the main charchter says, "Yeah dear Uncle Hoe, the Green Berets have arrived." and it tells you how he was shot dead two weeks later by a Vietcong sniper which lead too the first games protaganist to come into duty. [/sp] Medal of Honor: Rising Sun, first with [sp] the scene where they shout, "Oh my god! We just lost the USS Arizona!" and you watch the corpses begin flooding the water as you pass through battleship row.[/sp] Then the second level's ending where [sp] the main charchters brother is killed by banzai attacking Japanese soldiers...[/sp] when I was younger I kept shooting... Thinking maybe I might be able to save the guy... Never happened. And... This fucking trailer... Everything about this god damn trailer... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQoJR893uhM[/media]

The [sp]death of Flynn[/sp] in Bad Company 2 The ending of Unreal 2 how [sp]after you've spent the largest part of the game either collecting ancient powerful relics or fleeing for your life and learning about your crew and their backstories, as soon as you've collected every relic your entire crew is murdered in cold blood by your commander, who you eventually shoot through the head with the gun your dead crewmate gave you early in the game. You then escape the burning wreck of his ship after the relics combined to mutate the enslaved aliens aboard the ship and as you leave in the escape pod you remember that you've still got a data CD that a crewmate gave you. It tells their stories and how they felt about you, how sorry they were that it had to end this way as you drift into endless space.[/sp] The part of Quake 4 where [sp]your friend and commander is captured by Strogg forces, then engineered into a mutated killing machine as his upper torso is grafted onto a weapons platform. He is fully conscious and is aware that he is killing you, yet has no control over his actions.[/sp] And, most importantly, how in Half-Life 2: Episode 2 [sp]Barney still hasn't given you that god damn beer.[/sp]

Heavy Rain

I think just about any game that fucks things over that people liked. Prime example that comes to mind is Cataclysm.

MOTHER 3 [sp]I've seen the beginning and end mentioned here, and i did have a manly little cry at them, but the part that really got me was chapter 6, where you've fell from Thunder Tower and land in the sunflower field, then follow Hinawa's ghost off the edge :'([/sp] Super Metroid aswell [sp]The last Metroid dying to save you[/sp]

The part when [sp] you get dominated by a FaN Scout[/sp] in TF2

Also in Fable TKC [sp]when you get the choice to kill your sister[/sp]. [editline]2nd August 2011[/editline] And when you come back to Oakvale, it's like... you're immersed with nostalgia from the heros childhood.

The good endings of both Bioshock games.

Probably in bad company 2 where [sp]Flynn died[/sp]

The ending of the GTA 4 DLC, The Lost And Damned.

Shadow of the Colossus got progressively more emotional as it progressed. I love that game so much.

In Prey when you walk into the room to see your girlfriend half merged with a monstrous alien, begging for you to just kill her as she tries to kill you. Considering I was halfway through an allnighter of playing through the game it really made me regretful and full of emotion.

In Deus Ex when [sp]Jock's helicopter exploded[/sp]. I was mad when I learned that you can save him.

In The Witcher 2 when that draugir begs for mercy right after I have defeated it in single combat. I can't think of a time before that when an enemy has begged me for mercy, they always fight to the death. [sp]then he gets killed by the Draug. I would have spared him too[/sp] Also during the battle reenactment, the ghosts are talking about how they didn't want to go to war, they actually liked the kingdom they were fighting against, it was full of good people and markets had good prices. Wars in video games are usually portrayed as career soldiers going at it, not regular people fighting to protect their land, women, and children

One of the comments Ellis makes at a Finale in L4D2. Radio Operator - "Good luck, and god bless you." Ellis - "God bless you too sir." Really made me sit there for a moment thinking.

Metal Gear Solid 1: Gray Fox's story. [sp]How he adopted Naomi as her own sister after killing her parents, being forced to live through drugging after his original death, and that he sacrificed himself so that Snake could defeat Liquid (fighting back Metal Gear Rex with just one arm). That damn scene with the rocket launcher will live with anyone with a heart.[/sp]

A strange sad emotion kicked in when I had to kill the first assigned target in Hitman Blood Money. The one that owned the amusement park. I know that he is responsible for the wheel, still he gets fucked by gangster, his wife left him. Fucked up environement. It made me sad. Although it didn't prevent me from cracking his skull with an iron hammer.

Star Wars: Republic Commando [sp]- when you lose Sev[/sp] KOTOR [sp] - Revan leaves his friends without a hint, why he is actually leaving[/sp]

When Arthas died.
